Amiga A1200 with Pistorm32 lite initial query
« on: February 24, 2024, 09:34:30 PM »
Hi all,

I am new to Amiga's again after many years.  I have acquired a nice A1200 which I have been getting to grips with.  It has the 3.00 Roms installed.  I was just wondering do I need to purchase the 3.1 Roms if I am using a PiStorm or does the PiStorm take over from the Rom chips? 

Sorry for the totally noob questions.  I have only just got a PiStorm, it's all exciting for me :)

At the moment I am just using the PiStorm as an accelerator mainly because I am struggling to work out how to access games on it's SD card.  Still tinkering/learning...



Regards

Steven

Thanks for response. 

Just to clarify doesnt the Pistorm take over the onboard Roms making them obsolete?  The rom file on the pistorm becomes the latest? I have my pistorm all partitioned and I have managed to copy some software over to pistorm hard drive but if I remember correctly not all software runs from work bench.  Do I have all this correct so far? 

Sorry these are total noob questions :)

Going to have a look at YouTube link now.

Thank you. 

I think I need to learn how to install/setup WHDLoad next.
